Hover for distributors

Most reps use Hover to quickly pull accurate measurements and generate ready-to-order material lists for their contractor customers. When a contractor calls with a job, you can have a complete, itemized quote ready in minutes. Reps like Isaac Joyner at ABC Supply upload blueprints and have detailed takeoffs ready within 24 hours—often within the hour. Hover works for both remodels (using job site photos) and new construction (using uploaded blueprints).

Hover supports exterior trades, including siding and roofing, with detailed measurements for fascia, soffit, gutters, window openings, and more. Reps like Jarelle Hightower at SRS use Hover to quote across the full exterior — walls, roofing, windows — which can represent up to 80% of a building’s materials. Hover can process everything from single-family homes to large multi-family residential complexes and mainstreet commercial.

Yes. Upload a blueprint for new builds, or have your contractor take photos of an existing property using the Hover app. Either way, you get complete measurements and a ready-to-order material list without a site visit.

Yes—that’s one of the biggest benefits for distributor reps. Hover Measurements are verified against actual property photos or blueprints, so material quantities are based on real data, not contractor estimates or guesswork. One ABC Supply rep helped a customer save $35k off an original purchase order by catching the discrepancy before materials were ordered. Fewer credits. Fewer returns. Fewer callbacks.

It can. As one SRS territory manager put it: “Integrations with Hover and other tech have enabled me to now sell into bigger customers.” Reps who offer Hover-powered takeoffs give their contractor customers something most distributors can’t match. When contractors know they can call you and have a complete material list in under an hour, they stop shopping around.

Both generic and manufacturer-approved templates are available with every job. They pull in detailed Hover Measurements to populate the material quantities needed for a complete siding or roofing system. You can see exactly how each line item was calculated, edit any calculation, and save custom templates for future use.
